Makeup

This one's for the ladies.

On a makeup forum, a woman posted a photo of her makeup, intended as her look for a job interview. I personally thought it looked great, but many respondents suggested she tone it down, asking her to lean towards a more conservative look.

The makeup was not particularly outrageous, and I would have worn the same look if I was to be on-air or meeting a client. It got me thinking: is the younger generation not as outrageous as we think they are? Is being conservative still a mainstream idea?
